§20.108.1Ἀντίγονος δὲ προκεχειρισμένος ἀγῶνα μέγαν καὶ πανήγυριν ἐν Ἀντιγονίᾳ συντελεῖν πάντοθεν ἀθλητάς τε καὶ τεχνίτας τοὺς ἐπιφανεστάτους ἐπὶ μεγάλοις ἄθλοις καὶ μισθοῖς ἠθροίκει.
Antigonus, who had prepared to celebrate a great contest and festival in Antigonia, had gathered from all sides the most illustrious athletes and artists with offers of great prizes and fees.
ὡς δʼ ἤκουσε τὴν Λυσιμάχου διάβασιν καὶ τῶν στρατηγῶν τὴν ἀπόστασιν, τὸν μὲν ἀγῶνα διέλυσε, τοῖς δʼ ἀθληταῖς καὶ τοῖς τεχνίταις ἀπέδωκε μισθοὺς οὐκ ἐλάττους διακοσίων ταλάντων.
But when he heard of Lysimachus' crossing and the defection of his generals, he dissolved the contest, and paid the athletes and artists fees of not less than two hundred talents.
§20.108.2αὐτὸς δὲ τὴν δύναμιν ἀναλαβὼν ὥρμησεν ἐκ τῆς Συρίας σύντομον τὴν πορείαν ποιούμενος ἐπὶ τοὺς πολεμίους.
He himself, taking up his army, set out from Syria, making a rapid march against the enemy.
εἰς δὲ Ταρσὸν τῆς Κιλικίας ἀφικόμενος ἐξ ὧν κατεκόμισε χρημάτων ἐκ τῶν Κουΐνδων τὸ στρατόπεδον εἰς τρεῖς μῆνας ἐμισθοδότησεν.
Arriving at Tarsus in Cilicia, he paid the army for three months from the funds he had brought down from Quinda.
§20.108.3χωρὶς δὲ τούτων τρισχίλια τάλαντα μετὰ τῆς δυνάμεως ἐκόμιζεν, ὅπως τοιαύτην ἔχῃ τὴν χορηγίαν, ὅταν αὐτῷ χρεία γένηται χρημάτων.
Apart from these, he carried three thousand talents with his army, so that he might have such a reserve whenever he had need of money.
ἔπειτα τὸν Ταῦρον ὑπερβαλὼν προῆγεν ἐπὶ Καππαδοκίας καὶ τοὺς ἀφεστηκότας περὶ τὴν ἄνω Φρυγίαν καὶ Λυκαονίαν ἐπιπορευόμενος πάλιν εἰς τὴν προϋπάρχουσαν συμμαχίαν ἀποκατέστησεν.
Then, crossing the Taurus, he advanced toward Cappadocia, and visiting those who had revolted in Upper Phrygia and Lycaonia, he restored them again to their former alliance.
§20.108.4καθʼ ὃν δὴ χρόνον οἱ περὶ τὸν Λυσίμαχον πυθόμενοι τὴν τῶν πολεμίων παρουσίαν συνήδρευον, βουλευόμενοι πῶς χρηστέον εἴη τοῖς ἐπιφερομένοις κινδύνοις.
At this very time, Lysimachus and his men, having learned of the arrival of the enemy, held a council, deliberating how they should deal with the impending dangers.
§20.108.5ἔδοξεν οὖν αὐτοῖς εἰς μὲν μάχην μὴ συγκαταβαίνειν, ἕως ἂν οἱ περὶ Σέλευκον ἐκ τῶν ἄνω σατραπειῶν καταβῶσι, τόπους δὲ ὀχυροὺς καταλαβέσθαι καὶ χάρακι καὶ τάφρῳ τὴν στρατοπεδείαν ἀσφαλισαμένους ὑπομένειν τῶν πολεμίων τὴν ἔφοδον.
Therefore, they resolved not to engage in battle until Seleucus and his forces should descend from the upper satrapies, but to occupy strong positions and, having secured their camp with a palisade and a trench, to await the attack of the enemy.
οὗτοι μὲν οὖν τὸ δοχθὲν αὐτοῖς ἐπετέλουν κατὰ σπουδήν.
So they, indeed, carried out what had been resolved by them in haste.
ὁ δʼ Ἀντίγονος ἐπεὶ πλησίον ἐγένετο τῶν πολεμίων, ἐκτάξας τὴν δύναμιν προεκαλεῖτο εἰς μάχην.
But Antigonus, when he came near the enemy, having drawn up his army, challenged them to battle.
§20.108.6οὐδενὸς δʼ ἐπεξιέναι τολμῶντος αὐτὸς μὲν κατελάβετο τόπους τινάς, διʼ ὧν ἀναγκαῖον ἦν τὰς τροφὰς τοῖς ἐναντίοις παρακομίζεσθαι·
Since no one dared to march out, he himself occupied certain positions through which it was necessary for supplies to be conveyed to the enemy.
οἱ δὲ περὶ τὸν Λυσίμαχον φοβηθέντες μήποτε τῆς ἀγορᾶς ἀποκοπείσης ὑποχείριοι γένωνται τοῖς πολεμίοις, νυκτὸς ἀνέζευξαν καὶ διατείναντες σταδίους τετρακοσίους κατεστρατοπέδευσαν περὶ Δορύλαιον·
But Lysimachus and his men, fearing that, their supplies being cut off, they might fall into the hands of the enemy, decamped by night and, having covered four hundred stades, pitched camp near Dorylaeum.
§20.108.7εἶχε γὰρ τὸ χωρίον σίτου τε καὶ τῆς ἄλλης χορηγίας πλῆθος καὶ ποταμὸν παραρρέοντα δυνάμενον ἀσφάλειαν παρέχεσθαι τοῖς παρʼ αὐτὸν στρατοπεδεύουσι.
For that place had an abundance of grain and other supplies, and a river flowing by capable of providing security to those camping beside it.
βαλόμενοι δὲ στρατοπεδείαν ὠχύρωσαν τὴν παρεμβολὴν βαθείᾳ τάφρῳ καὶ τριπλῷ χάρακι.
Having thrown up a camp, they fortified the encampment with a deep trench and a triple palisade.
